Vermillion Help

[fishinislife2003]

Went out 2 weeks ago before the weather changed and it was non-stop constant walleye action. I never sat down. Biggest one was 8 pounds. I was 6 miles out due north of Vermillion just to the west of the sand bar in 45 feet of water. Trolling west to east over the sand bar in 39 FOW is where I got all my fish. They were 3-5 off the bottom and I was trolling dipsy's 85 back on 3 setting with reef runners.

I'm sure everything is changing now that the weather has gotten colder but I was marking them all over the sand bar, north and south. I fished 3 days in a row and limited out (in a bass boat by the way) in 2 1/2 hours each day. Packed my freezer and now I'm perching off Cleveland. 50lb's of walleye is enough for me for the winter. 40FOW off Cleveland Browns stadium is where I'm at nowadays. I was watching the air show for Labor day catching them on shiners right off the bottom. Nice to see the air show and catch fish at the same time. Didn't know which I wanted to pay attention to more.

Good luck.

Fishin, Thanks for posting. Any info helps your angling buddies. I was out last weekend about 4-5 miles west of the bar and also did pretty good with some quality eyes. Biggest was 8.4 lbs. I was running 40 jets with spoons. My speed was in the 2.5 - 2.7 range. 42 fow running about 70-80 ft back. Was out yesterday around Kelly Shoel. very slow. I think it is about time to start to change over to cranks. Maybe some will post and shed some light and help out their angling buddies. Thanks guys..

Well I'm going to go out again today but with the winds being S15-20 I'm going to take it slow. Being in a bass boat it can be a little bumpy on those 3footers. I think since the water temp has dropped a lot of those fish are probably moving in bit. So instead of 6 miles due north of Vermilion I'll try at the lower end of the sand bar maybe 4 miles out and see if I can mark any and start fishing. They were so thick in there 3 weeks ago and biting that it makes it frustrating that the weather changed so quickly. Well, I'll let you know what happens.

If it doesn't work out so well then I guess I'll go back to perch.
